Chapter 344 Battle against Hai Bodong

Hai Bodong's astonished performance was within Jing Chen's expectations; this was his first duel with Hai Bodong. This was the first seed Jing Chen planted in Hai Bodong, and once planted, its effects might far exceed Jing Chen's imagination.

"Boom!" Hai Bodong didn't waste any more words and directly unleashed his battle aura. His body was enveloped in ice-blue battle aura, and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.

"Whoa~ such a commotion, who are you trying to scare? Butterfly, find a place to hide first, I'll take care of him soon." Jing Chen said to Butterfly behind him, then released his mental power to sweep across the entire area, roughly determining Hai Bodong's location.

"Whether it's a scare tactic or not, we'll find out once we try!" Hai Bodong said, and with a sudden push of his hands, a large number of ice spikes were generated in the air. All of these ice spikes were aimed at Jing Chen and shot towards him.

Jing Chen's ears twitched slightly. Wasn't the sound of the ice spike cutting through the air a bit too loud?

Jing Chen simply stomped his foot, and the Blue Silver Emperor rapidly grew in front of him, intertwining to form a wall. Hai Bodong was somewhat surprised. What... what is this thing?

Shocked as he was, Hai Bodong did not underestimate his opponent. His probing attacks yielded no information, and he grew increasingly interested in the white-haired boy.

Having blocked Hai Bodong's ice spikes, Jing Chen withdrew his Blue Silver Grass. A slight smile played on his lips. "Hai Bodong, this little attack isn't enough to gauge my strength. This is how you test someone!"

After Jing Chen finished speaking, a large number of Blue Silver Emperors burst out of the ground at Hai Bodong's feet. In just one breath, Hai Bodong's limbs were bound by the Blue Silver Emperors.

Hai Bodong tried to break free a few times, and he found that the blue vines with golden stripes on their roots were indeed very tough, otherwise they would not have been able to block his attacks.

"Your attack is nothing special," Hai Bodong retorted sarcastically.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, "Is that so?"

Jing Chen opened his right hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor rapidly grew, slowly condensing into a long spear. Hai Bodong stared in shock at the spear gradually taking shape in Jing Chen's hand. That spear actually possessed a power that made even him tremble! That, that wasn't battle qi, it definitely wasn't battle qi! That was…

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear had been fully formed. Jing Chen gripped the spear, a slight smile playing on his lips. "My spear is a bit big, please bear with it."

As the Blue Silver Overlord Spear was thrown, Hai Bodong stared in shock at it. He could clearly see that the space itself seemed to distort where the spear had passed!

This is bad. If I can't dodge this attack, I'll most likely die!

Jing Chen also knew about this move. If Hai Bodong hadn't dodged it, then there wouldn't have been any further action for Hai Bodong. However, Hai Bodong was a Dou Huang level expert, so he should have been able to dodge this move, since it wasn't a targeted skill.

"boom!"

With a loud bang and thick smoke billowing out, Jing Chen had just released his spiritual power when a figure flew into the sky from the smoke. When Jing Chen sensed it, he couldn't help but think how impressive it was.

Hai Bodong looked at the thick smoke with lingering fear. If he hadn't managed to break free at the last moment, he might have lost his life today.

With this one strike, Hai Bodong knew the gap between himself and Jing Chen. He also sensed Jing Chen's strength, which was only at the first level of Dou Qi. However, Hai Bodong did not dare to underestimate this white-haired youth who was only at the first level of Dou Qi.

"At such a young age, your mental strength is so powerful. You are truly a little prodigy. In the future, we may hear your name among alchemists. What is your name?" Hai Bodong looked down at Jing Chen and said.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, "Jing Chen."

"Jing Chen, I'll remember you. Now, let's have a good fight," Hai Bodong said.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll grant your wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Chen's eyes, which had previously lost their light, regained their brightness. Hai Bodong was shocked once again. So… he wasn't truly blind after all. Then why had he…

Having regained his sight, Jing Chen looked up at Hai Bodong, who was hovering in the air leaning against the pair of blue battle aura wings on his back, and smiled slightly, saying, "Be careful, I won't hold back from now on!"

"Okay, let's go!" Hai Bodong said.

Jing Chen made a grasping motion towards Hai Bodong in mid-air. Hai Bodong immediately felt the space around him become strangely distorted. He frowned, knowing he couldn't let Jing Chen unleash this move.

Seeing Hai Bodong preparing to make his move, Jing Chen knew that this tactic of luring Hai Bodong into a trap had succeeded. Jing Chen's sudden squeeze wasn't a signal to unleash a powerful attack; he simply wanted to gain the upper hand.

Several more ice dragons gathered around Hai Bodong. Without hesitation, he pushed hard with his right hand, and the ice dragons instantly rushed towards Jing Chen. Jing Chen released his grip, grabbed the first dragon, spun it around, and threw it back. The ice dragons collided and exploded in mid-air.

"Catch my ice dragon with your bare hands? This, how is this possible?" Hai Bodong was shocked.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, "You're already shocked? There's something even more amazing!"

Jing Chen clenched his right hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his grasp. He calmly unleashed a slash, a golden sword aura pointing directly at Hai Bodong. Sensing the power of that sword aura, Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically. This sword aura was actually comparable to the previous gun!

An ice mirror rapidly materialized before Hai Bodong, and the sword energy collided with it. The moment they made contact, cracks instantly appeared all over the ice mirror. This sight shocked Hai Bodong once again.

This...this is really at the first stage of Dou Qi? This...this is at least the strength of a Dou Huang powerhouse, right?

Although the ice mirror was covered in cracks, it still managed to withstand Jing Chen's sword energy thanks to Hai Bodong's support.

Jing Chen unleashed a dark flame in his left hand, instantly raising the surrounding temperature, which had already been lowered. Hai Bodong stared in shock at the dark flame in Jing Chen's left hand; anything with that temperature was definitely a strange fire!

Jing Chen slammed his left hand into the ground, sending all the dark flames into the earth. Hai Bodong warily looked around, but there was no sound. He looked at Jing Chen with some confusion. Jing Chen simply smiled and pointed upwards. Hai Bodong looked up to see a gigantic black dragon with bared fangs and claws circling above him. Then, something burst forth from the ground below him—upon closer inspection, it was a second black dragon!

Two black dragons crashed into Hai Bodong at the same time. Feeling the heat and power emanating from the dragons, Hai Bodong dared not confront them head-on. He had no way to escape except to run away!

Having narrowly avoided the two giant dragons, Hai Bodong hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when a sword suddenly appeared at his neck. Jing Chen's voice came from behind him: "You... lost."
